Come back Mahabali!
/* Happy Onam, to all. I am back (not fully) after a hiatus */
Oh, our benevolent King, the great Mahabali
Be not a visitor in this world of selfish deeds!
We pray your vanquisher the vamana vishnu
To deliver you to us or deliver us to you!
Sacrifice is what you symbolized
Service is what your rule epitomized
Self and pelf is what our current rulers perspire
Salary of Rs.80000, they aspire!
For just one foot, (you) gave your land away!
For a foot in one state, they mine our land everyday!
For another foot, you gave the entire space!
Food not enough, they gobble commonwealth games!
For the third foot, you offered your head!
On all our heads they have offered us debt!
You went to patala to save us all!
One lakh sixty thousand crores of their black money goes patala to enslave us all!
Oh, our benevolent King, the great Mahabali
Be not a visitor in this world of selfish deeds!
Come and Conquer, gods let them be
Let the new Yuga begin, we desire from thee!
